Where is the jaw crusher used?

Jaw crushers are used for different purposes in various sectors. Although it is generally used for primary stage crushing operations, it is preferred for secondary crushing operations. Jaw crushers are widely used in the following fields:

Mining and Mining Operations

• Ore Crushing: It is used to reduce the size of stones containing metals such as iron ore, copper, gold and silver extracted from mines. This process, called the primary crushing process, prepares the materials for grinding and enrichment processes.

• Coal Crushing: Jaw crushers are preferred for breaking coarse-grained coals extracted from coal mines into smaller pieces.

• Underground Mining: Jaw crushers can be used to crush mines before they are brought to the surface. This reduces transportation costs and improves process efficiency.

Quarries and Aggregate Production

• Natural Stone and Rock Crushing: It is used to crush large pieces of rock extracted from quarries such as granite, basalt, limestone and turn them into aggregates of smaller sizes.

• Road Construction and Construction Material Production: Jaw crushers play an important role in the production of filling materials and aggregates used in road construction and concrete production.

Construction and Infrastructure Projects

• Demolition and Recycling: Jaw crushers are used to recycle building materials such as concrete and asphalt that occur after the demolition of old buildings, bridges, and road surfaces. These materials can be used as rebuilding materials.

• Infrastructure Constructions: Jaw crushers are also used in the production of filling materials used in the construction of pipelines, water channels and tunnels.

Recycling Facilities

• Concrete and Asphalt Recycling: It is used to crush concrete and asphalt pieces obtained from construction demolitions and make them reusable.

• Construction and Demolition Wastes: It is effective in recycling bricks, stones, cement and other building materials and using them as building or filling materials.

• Metal Recycling: In some cases, jaw crushers can also be used to break large metal parts. This makes metal parts easier to machine in later machining stages.

Chemical & Industrial Minerals

• Preparation of Chemical Substances: Jaw crushers are used to reduce some raw materials used in the chemical industry to certain sizes and make them suitable for the processes to be processed.

• Fracturing of Industrial Minerals: It is used for crushing various industrial minerals such as kaolin, dolomite, feldspar. These minerals are prepared to be used as raw materials in many sectors such as ceramics, glass, paint, paper.
